A man reflects on his deteriorating relationship with Nancy, a woman he married partly as a rebellion against his family. He realizes that in trying to make him happy, she has become unhappy and no longer her true self, merely going along with his wishes without complaint. Now, after a hurtful argument where he insulted her, he questions whether her constant compliance means she never truly cared. The episode ends with him returning home, unsure if their strained connection can ever be repaired.
